My Pillow: Ringer Bearer (18" x 18")

I chose to "compete" with the awesome Ring Bearer Pillow Pattern in the Pillow Talk Book and used the Ring Bearer kit because all the tiny petals are already cut and fused with the adhesive - wahoo!!! YES - all 78 pieces! The kits are a really good deal because they include the pillow front background fabric and all 78 tiny appliqué pieces cut and fused ---such a time saver! 

I wanted to personalize my Ring Bearer Pillow --- so I embroidered "Family is Forever" in the middle. I LOVE it!  I used Kimberbell Happy Home for the "Family is Forever" so it was fun to stitch with my Janome 550E embroidery machine --- don't worry there is a sewing version too so you can hand embroider if you prefer! 

Since the appliqué shapes were precut with fusible adhesive, I simply ironed the shapes to the pillow front based on the Ring Bearer Pattern in the Pillow Talk Book. Then I machine quilted with a stipple over the entire pillow front!
